I don't have or am I currently working with the Enigmas, so my knowledge about them is limited. But the Enigma is it's own destinct genetic mutation. Dominant to be percise. I'm not sure where the liniage derived from.
What your seeing with the variations are differant combination morphs where the Enigma was used. Enigma Mack(Enigma X Mack Snow),Bell Enigma (Enigma X Bell Albino), ext.
As for the price differences, being the Enigma is a Dominant gene it is very easy to duplicate or combine with another morph. Expect the prices to drop very rapidly like they have been doing. It wouldn't surpise me if they are a $100 to $50.00 animal in a couple of years.
